Reviews
Cheyenne had so much fun playing with her new friends Bailey and Bella! Austin and Wendy did a great job learning about Cheyenne, communication with them was great both before and during Cheyenne’s stay with them, and I got plenty of pictures and videos showing Cheyenne having a wonderful time..We will be back!
We left our dog, Flash, with Wendy and Austin for a few days and came back to find a happy and well-cared-for pup. Wendy and Austin sent daily updates and photos. They managed to keep up with Flash's high energy and provided warm and loving environment. Booking and communication were seamless and professional.
Such wonderful caretakers for my fur baby. Update daily with photos! Highly recommended!
Ruger always has a blast!

Safety, trust & environment
We care for any pets that are visiting our home as if they were a part of our family (special restrictions aside). We have two dogs of our own, a golden retriever (7 yrs, 55lbs) and a golden mix (2 yrs, 30lbs). We allow our dogs to freely roam around our home, as they are trained and house broken and are excellent playmates/cuddle buddies.

Information Austin & Wendy K. would like to know about your pet
Bailey has anxiety during thunderstorms and requires her to take medicine to calm her for longer extended thunderstorms. It is recommended that if a thunderstorm is forecasted, to verify the radar to see if her medication is worth administering. Shorter storms can be managed by distracting her with by playing with her and turning up other sounds to drown out the thunder.
A typical day
We let our dogs out in the morning to use the bathroom in our fenced-in back yard for free-play in the morning sun (during summer we bring them in early to avoid the intense heat). Generally our dogs roam around the house, until their lunch and weather permitting, a walk (we avoid mid-day walks in the summer due to the hot pavement). They play with each other and take naps near us in our home office. In the afternoon as the sun sets, we will take them on a walk (~1-2 miles) around the neighborhood and frequently stop by the neighborhood dog park to see if they want to run with other dogs. At night (weather permitting) we will take a shorter walk for a potty break and final stretch before bedtime,
